Notes to Accompany the Powerpoint Hitler’s Rise to Power Notes to accompany the PowerPoint. Birmingham Holocaust Education Center February 2008 1 Slide 1: Title Slide The rise of the Nazis defies any simple narrative. It came out of a myriad of interlacing events, ideologies and historical accidents. Slide 2: Graphic of “Lighting the Match” Some scholars believe that the Holocaust was masterminded by Adolf Hitler and was the result of long- term planning on his part. This opinion is often criticized for focusing too much on Hitler and letting everyone else off the hook. Other scholars downplay the role of Adolf Hitler and describe the Holocaust as something that evolved over time in an improvised way. That Hitler was in fact a weak dictator, swept along by forces outside of his control. A combination of these two viewpoints seems more in line. That Hitler was an essential factor in Nazism and the genocide it produced is without question. Without Hitler, Nazism, World War II and the Holocaust would have taken a very different form, if they had occurred at all. Yet Hitler did not have complete power – even dictators depend on popular support – and a program as massive as the crimes of Nazism required many accomplices. If one were to think of the Holocaust as a raging fire, certain essential components or “kindling” were necessary to create that fire. Some of those were: 1.The existing antisemitism. Hitler and the Nazis did not invent antisemitism. They simply reflected and built on prejudices that were familiar in many parts of Europe. A substantial part of the population had to be ready to consider it desirable, acceptable, or at least unavoidable, that certain other people would be isolated, persecuted, and killed. 2. The downturn in the German economy. Although the Weimar Republic was not fully endorsed by the populace, without the downturn in the German economy the Nazis would have never gained power. The massive inflation and unemployment, exacerbated by the Great Depression, sent the public into a panic, searching for a quick fix. 2 3. The desire for a renewed German Nationalism. After the humiliation of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was searching for strong leadership to return them to the days of international dominance. In order for that “kindling” to ignite, a “spark” was needed. That “spark or match” was Adolf Hitler. Once the fire was going, it was “fueled” by the Nazi Propaganda machine. War provided the killers with both a cover and an excuse for murder. Without the war, the Holocaust would not – and could not have happened. Slide 3: Graphic: How did Hitler become dictator of Germany? How did a high school drop-out from Austria, who never rose above the rank of Lance Corporal in the German Army, become dictator of Germany and ultimately most of the European continent? Slide 4: Myth of Fact? Slide 5: Hitler’s Rise to Power: Breaker Slide – Birth of Nazi Party Slide 6: Hitler’s Rise to Power: Birth of the Nazi Party After World War I, Hitler stayed in the army, which was now mainly engaged in suppressing the various political uprisings that were breaking out across Germany. In September, 1919, Corporal Hitler was ordered to investigate a small, potentially dangerous group in Munich, the German Worker’s Party. In this disorganized party, Hitler saw opportunity. Its members expressed a right-wing doctrine consistent with his own. At the age of 30, Hitler joined as member #555 (the numbering system began at #500 to make the group appear larger). He would later become the 7th member of the Executive Committee of the party (#7 represents “completeness” in Judeo-Christian theology). 3 It was here that Hitler discovered that he had two remarkable talents – public oratory and inspiring personal loyalty. His pounding fists, burning eyes, hoarse cries and hysterics aroused audiences to a fevered pitch. In 1920 Hitler took control of the group and changed the name to the National Socialist German Worker’s Party, National Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei, NSDAP, or Nazi for short. He hoped the word “National” would attract nationalists who wanted to rebuild Germany and the word “Socialist” would attract socialists who wanted to improve the lives of working people in Germany. There were about 3,000 members. In 1922, Major Joseph Hell, a German journalist, had the occasion to interview Adolf Hitler, and he wrote about the experience in his memoirs. Toward the end of his interview Major Hell asked Hitler, “What do you want to do to the Jews once you have full discretionary powers?” Hitler abruptly changed his demeanor, raising his voice and carrying on as if he were addressing an outdoor rally: Once I really am in power, my first and foremost task will be the annihilation of the Jews. As soon as I have the power to do so, I will have gallows built in rows – at the Marienplatz in Munich, for example – as many as traffic allows. Then the Jews will be hanged discriminately, and they will remain hanging until they stink; they will hang there as long as the principles of hygiene permit. As soon as they have been untied, the next batch will be hung up, and so on down the line, until the last Jew in Munich has been exterminated. Other cities will follow suit, precisely in this fashion, until all Germany has been completely cleansed of Jews. Eleven years later, on Monday, January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler, the former Austrian corporal, was sworn in by President Paul von Hindenburg as Chancellor of Germany. 4 Slide 7: Hitler’s Rise to Power: Breaker Slide – The Weimar Republic Slide 8: Election Chart: January 1919 In the elections of January 1919, 76% of the Germans voted for the 3 parties that favored democracy. Three parties formed a coalition: Social Democratic Party (SPD) – remained the largest party until 1932; industrial working class Catholic Center Party – desired to protect Catholic heritage from government interference; Catholics were 37% of the German population. German Democratic Party (DDP) – upper middle class, university intellectuals, businessmen In February, the elected officials met in the city of Weimar, Germany to draw up a constitution and the Weimar Republic was formed. Many German hated the new democracy from the start. The new Republic found itself attacked from both left- and right-wing politicians. On the left, the Communists hated the new government. They didn’t want a democracy – they wanted a ‘dictatorship of the workers’ which would bring in the Communist revolution. In January 1919 an extreme group of Communists called the Spartacists had rebelled, and there were many more Communist uprisings in the next few years. The right-wing politicians hated the Weimar government even more. The main problem was that the German Army had not actually surrendered – the German government had. Consequently, many proud right-wing Germans (“nationalists”) refused to believe that they had actually lost the war. They called the politicians who had signed the Armistice “the November Criminals,” and they were even more angry when the terms of the Treaty of Versailles became known in June 1919. To further undermine the Republic, these extremists blamed Germany’s defeat in World War I on an alleged conspiracy of Socialists and Jews. They were opposed to any democratic system, preferring an authoritarian state like the 1871 Empire. There was one right-wing rebellion instigated by the Freikorps – the Kapp Putsch in Berlin in 1920 – but right-wing attacks on the government took a different form. Right-wing groups assassinated politicians and set up paramilitary groups which terrorized their neighborhoods. When the government tried to bring any of them to court, right-wing judges let them off. 5 Slide 9: The Weimar Republic – Organizational Chart Questions for Discussion: Under Article 22 of the Weimar Constitution, political parties gained seats in the Reichstag in proportion to the percentage of votes they received in national elections. Do you believe that this approach is fairer than the American system in which congressional representatives are elected in winner-take-all contests? Should a political party that wins 10% of the vote in congressional elections be entitled to 10% of the seats in Congress? Explain. What problems might arise if there were five or more parties in Congress, each supported by fewer than 20% of American voters? 2. Under the Weimar Constitution, the president served as head of state in Germany’s dealings with other countries, while the chancellor, who was appointed by the president, ran the government on a day-to-day basis. How was this different from the American system. _________________________________________________________________ The Weimar Republic refers to the German government that was formed at Weimar, a town in the eastern part of the country, in February 1919, after Germany’s defeat in World War I. During its 14 short years, the republic would see 20 different governments in control. The government was set up as a parliamentary democracy with a multi-party legislature known as the Reichstag. The parties were elected by proportional representation (i.e. 10% of the votes = 10% of the seats). Several parties had to come together in order to achieve a majority and pass legislation. The new republic replaced the previous German monarchy of Kaiser Wilhelm II, who had abdicated his position and fled to Holland. From the beginning, the Weimar Republic seemed unlucky. Germans were unused to democracy, often pining for the predictable order of the monarchy. Stability seemed elusive. There were fatal weaknesses in the leadership. President Leading the government was a publicly elected President that served a 7-year term. His responsibilities included: - Head of the armed forces.

Uncertainty and Hyperinflation: European Inflation Dynamics after World War I Jose A. Lopez Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Kris James Mitchener Santa Clara University CAGE, CEPR, CES-ifo & NBER* May 9, 2018 ABSTRACT. Fiscal deficits, elevated debt-to-GDP ratios, and high inflation rates suggest hyperinflation could have potentially emerged in many European countries after World War I. We demonstrate that economic policy uncertainty was instrumental in pushing a subset of European countries into hyperinflation shortly after the end of the war. Germany, Austria, Poland, and Hungary (GAPH) suffered from frequent uncertainty shocks – and correspondingly high levels of uncertainty – caused by protracted political negotiations over reparations payments, the apportionment of the Austro-Hungarian debt, and border disputes. In contrast, other European countries exhibited lower levels of measured uncertainty between 1919 and 1925, allowing them more capacity with which to implement credible commitments to their fiscal and monetary policies.

  • Chapter 5. Between Gleichschaltung and Revolution
    Chapter 5 BETWEEN GLEICHSCHALTUNG AND REVOLUTION In the summer of 1935, as part of the Germany-wide “Reich Athletic Com- petition,” citizens in the state of Schleswig-Holstein witnessed the following spectacle: On the fi rst Sunday of August propaganda performances and maneuvers took place in a number of cities. Th ey are supposed to reawaken the old mood of the “time of struggle.” In Kiel, SA men drove through the streets in trucks bearing … inscriptions against the Jews … and the Reaction. One [truck] carried a straw puppet hanging on a gallows, accompanied by a placard with the motto: “Th e gallows for Jews and the Reaction, wherever you hide we’ll soon fi nd you.”607 Other trucks bore slogans such as “Whether black or red, death to all enemies,” and “We are fi ghting against Jewry and Rome.”608 Bizarre tableau were enacted in the streets of towns around Germany. “In Schmiedeberg (in Silesia),” reported informants of the Social Democratic exile organization, the Sopade, “something completely out of the ordinary was presented on Sunday, 18 August.” A no- tice appeared in the town paper a week earlier with the announcement: “Reich competition of the SA. On Sunday at 11 a.m. in front of the Rathaus, Sturm 4 R 48 Schmiedeberg passes judgment on a criminal against the state.” On the appointed day, a large crowd gathered to watch the spectacle.

  • H.E. Ms. Angela Merkel, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Addresses 100Th International Labour Conference
    H.E. Ms. Angela Merkel, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Addresses 100th International Labour Conference In the first ever visit of a German Chancellor to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), H.E. Ms. Angela Merkel today addressed the Organization’s annual conference. Speaking to the historic 100th session of the International Labour Conference (ILC) Ms Merkel highlighted the increasing role played by the ILO in closer international cooperation. The G8 and G20 meetings would be “unthinkable without the wealth of experience of this Organisation”, she said, adding that the ILO’s involvement was the only way “to give globalization a form, a structure” (In German with subtitles in English). Transcription in English: Juan Somavia, Director-General, International Labour Organization: “Let me highlight your distinctive sense of policy coherence. Since 2007, you have regularly convened in Berlin the heads of the IMF, World Bank, WTO, OECD and the ILO, and urged us to strengthen our cooperation, and this with a view to building a strong social dimension of globalization and greater policy coherence among our mandates. These dialogues, under your guidance, have been followed up actively by the ILO with important joint initiatives with all of them, whose leaders have all addressed the Governing Body of the ILO. You have been a strong voice for a fairer, more balanced globalization in which much needs to be done by all international organizations.” Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany: “Universal and lasting peace can be established only if it is based on social justice.” This is the first sentence of the Constitution of the ILO and I also wish to start my speech with these words, as they clearly express what the ILO is all about and what it is trying to achieve: universal peace.

  • Radio and the Rise of the Nazis in Prewar Germany
    Radio and the Rise of the Nazis in Prewar Germany Maja Adena, Ruben Enikolopov, Maria Petrova, Veronica Santarosa, and Ekaterina Zhuravskaya* May 10, 2014 How far can the media protect or undermine democratic institutions in unconsolidated democracies, and how persuasive can they be in ensuring public support for dictator’s policies? We study this question in the context of Germany between 1929 and 1939. Radio slowed down the growth of political support for the Nazis, when Weimar government introduced pro-government political news in 1929, denying access to the radio for the Nazis up till January 1933. This effect was reversed in 5 weeks after the transfer of control over the radio to the Nazis following Hitler’s appointment as chancellor. After full consolidation of power, radio propaganda helped the Nazis to enroll new party members and encouraged denunciations of Jews and other open expressions of anti-Semitism. The effect of Nazi radio propaganda varied depending on the listeners’ predispositions toward the message. Nazi radio was most effective in places where anti-Semitism was historically high and had a negative effect on the support for Nazi messages in places with historically low anti-Semitism. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! * Maja Adena is from Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung.

  • JOHNSTOWN V. the NEGRO: SOUTHERN MIGRANTS and the EXODUS of 1923
    JOHNSTOWN v. THE NEGRO: SOUTHERN MIGRANTS AND THE EXODUS OF 1923 BY RICHARD B. SHERMAN* ONE of the most significant demographic changes in American history was the vast migration of Southern Negroes to the North during and shortly after the First World War. Within a period of a few years hundreds of thousands of Negroes found opportunities in the North that heretofore had been denied to them. However, the migration also made clearer than ever before the national character of American racial problems. Particularly in the early stages, it meant that an economically and culturally oppressed minority was placed in sharp and unaccustomed contact with people in Northern communities who were unprepared for the change. This process provided a dramatic test of the devotion of Americans to their ideals of freedom and equality. In some areas there were heartening instances of successful adjustment. But there were also dismaying failures. An example of the latter was provided during the early 1920's by Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where community apathy and demagogic leadership resulted in misfortune for many of the newcomers. From 1915 through the 1920's the Negro's northward migration came in two main phases, and Johnstown was affected by both. The first phase reached a peak between 1916 and 1917, and then sharply declined for a few years. A second phase was under way by 1922 and culminated the next year. Prompted by economic and social oppression in the South, and lured by the opportunities presented by labor shortages in the North, vast numbers of Negroes moved off the land, to the cities, and into the North.] *Dr.

    Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2021 Joint Statement by President Biden and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany— Washington Declaration July 15, 2021 Today, the President of the United States and the Chancellor of Germany affirm their commitment to close bilateral cooperation in promoting peace, security, and prosperity around the world. The foundation of our relationship is a shared commitment to democratic principles, values, and institutions. Together, we will uphold the rule of law, promote transparency and good governance, and support civil society and independent media. We will defend the rights and dignity of all individuals, and counter injustice and inequality wherever it occurs. We uphold the universal values at the heart of the United Nations Charter and stand together in our commitment to promote respect for human rights everywhere, including by rejecting and responding in concert to violations of human rights. We must act now to demonstrate that democracy delivers for our people at home and that democratic leadership delivers for the world. We commit ourselves to defending an open world. Across the globe, all nations must be free to determine their political futures free from foreign interference, coercion, or domination by outside powers. As two nations whose economies depend on the free transit of goods around the world, we affirm the critical importance of the freedoms of navigation and overflight and other lawful uses of the sea, consistent with international law. This vision is unachievable in a world carved into competing spheres of influence and we will resist attempts to create them, be it through attempts at territorial annexation, control of digital infrastructure, transnational repression, or weaponized energy flows.
